Modern revival of an ancient art

Beautiful display: Ye and Li performing a play at the open-air theatre of the Cantonese Opera Art Museum in Guangzhou.

THE Hungry Ghost Festival is one of the celebrations I look forward to every year as a little girl living in a small town in Perak.

I was not waiting for the Door of Hell to open so that I could bump into supernatural incidents, but the Cantonese opera troupe to perform at a field behind my house.
